Just finished watching this footage from the actual show (thanks DirecTV DVR... Tivo sucks!!!).

Notice how they basically s*** all over Gran Turismo by saying it's not about collecting cars but about racing cars.

I can see his point because ultimately it's about the action on the track and less in the garage. Still, there's no other game on the market that looks as good as GT5 Prologue.

Having said that I hate that it's taking Polyphony Digital another 12 months to complete the game. Why? When when Race Driver looks as good as it does and has car damage and even realistic and varied levels of damage.

Look at Burnout for cryin' out loud. It looks gorgeous and the cars turn into peanut brittle after a few races.

I'm starting to dislike how pretentious the team at PD is being in that they're game is SO awesome that it should make its audience wait another year for the game.

Hopefully they're working on car damage. If so it will truly change the game and while not worth waiting a year for the time they spend on it should make it a better game.
